Hello

We’ve been using bbpress almost since the beginning, and we currently have a quite big forum.

Site is this http://iphonefan.com forum is here http://iphonefan.com/foro as you can see it’s also quite modded and customized.

So upgrading was not something we did frequently, but a recent necessary php and mysql upgrade forced us to upgrade our wordpress and bbpress. WordPress upgrade went ok, but bbpress was a problem since we just learned it moved from being a standalone version to a plugin version.

Since the problem we had was the the recent php and mysql brought some error like these:

`Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-settings.php on line 186

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-includes/backpress/functions.wp-object-cache.php on line 108

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-includes/backpress/pomo/mo.php on line 171

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-includes/functions.bb-l10n.php on line 484

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in /home/ifans/public_html/foro/bb-includes/backpress/class.wp-taxonomy.php on line 581`

Import from 1.0.2 (our latest forum version) to latest bbpress was a nightmare (duplicated forums, topics, posts. Stalled conversions and so on). So looking for advice here ate bbpress forums found that it could be easier if I upgraded first from 1.0.2 to 1.2. I downloaded the legacy version, the backpress files (whatever they were) and the “pomo” folder (also don’t know what it is).

We decided to try to upgrade to 1.2 as suggested. Everything went fine, uploaded files helped, the errors didn’t show in this version, next step was going to the admin panel and upgrade the database, clicked the “upgrade database” button and then another error.

`Network Error (tcp_error)

A communication error occurred: “Operation timed out”
The Web Server may be down, too busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests. You may wish to try again at a later time.

For assistance, contact your network support team.`

I can’t tell what’s happening, I’ve tried to increase the maximum execution time, the php memory, nothing worked so far.

What can I do? how can I upgrade the database without this timeout error? is it possible to do it through shell? Is a setting I need to move in my server?

Please help!

Hi,

I’m having some troubles to customize bbpress to my specific theme.
I really don’t have the time to figure it out all by myself.

Therefore I’m willing to pay a person here on this forum to help customize it to my website.

Thinks to be done:
– Main forum page does not show.
– Translation to Swedish (You don’t need to speak swedish only know how to copy the language file from wordpress into bbpress.)
– And a few other things. More info if interested.

So do you have the experience to fix this for me? Send me a message and we can discuss the deal.

[Yakir Gottesman]

It is very easy. You just don’t need this HTML code!

This text box should use the defaults of the WordPress installation or the theme basic css instructions. The problem is that you specify the DIR in the html code, so there is no way around it using css.

If it is really important for some reason, you can use css: direction=”ltr”. We could walk around it using the rtl.css or using !important or something.

This is a tough one, because technically the theme should have support for RTL editor styles. Moving to future release so we can investigate further.

Wordpress: 3.5.1
bbPress: 2.2.4
Wishlist: 2.71

Does anyone have this versions of bbPress working with Wishlist Member? Topic contents are not being displayed. I suspect it is a bug in the Wishlist Member protection logic. Strangely topic replies are being displayed.

If I change the users role to Administrator, topic contents appear again. But other backend protection changes do not work.

Any help or advice gratefully received.

Wishlist Members advice is to use Simple:Press but I’d much rather stick with bbPress.

Thanks.

I finally figured out what it was!

Wordpress is installed like this:
http://www.domain.com/wordpress/

But my website is in the root like this:
http://www.domain.com/

Therefore, the cookies were not accessible across the board.

The forum avatars are fuzzy. I assume they are pulling from buddypress. Is there a way make them higher resolution and larger?

I would like to change them without changing the core files?

I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 with buddypress 1.7

theme triton lite, and I’m using a child theme.

thanks.

@netweb Thank you for your response!

I guess then my issue is about it not recognizing users are logged in already, then. I will look more into this!

[@mercime]

@yetanotherlogin you can start off with the proposed patch at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933 adjust it to taste

Hello

A WordPress-based site that I read often uses BBPress for its forum.

It currently doesn’t support a mobile version, making it a pain to access from a smartphone.

Is there a good add-on so that BBPress can offer two versions of a forum, depending on whether it’s accessed from a desktop browser or a smartphone browser?

Thank you.

[Stephen Edgar]

Can you try flushing your permalinks and let us know how it goes as I can’t reproduce your issue.

This could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.

[Stephen Edgar]

I am not seeing that on any of my test sites… 2.2.4 and 2.3

Can you try using Twenty Eleven or Twenty Twelve theme rather than a custom theme and of course with all other plugins disabled and let me know.

[Stephen Edgar]

It is built in… bbp_has_topics can be set using orderby to any of ‘author’, ‘date’, ‘title’, ‘modified’, ‘parent’ or ‘random’

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/includes/topics/template-tags.php#L84

bbPress 2.x is now a fully integrated plugin for WordPress.

Please see https://bbpress.org/ & https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress/

(Closing this topic to prevent it being resurrected again)

[Stephen Edgar]

bbPress 2.x is a plugin for WordPress just like any ‘other’ WordPress plugin and is no longer a ‘stand alone’ web app needing a bb-config.php. Everything is stored in the main WP database primarily using ‘Custom Post Types’ for the forum bits and all user bits are just WP users.

[ayden1232]

Hi guys,
I have a forums site though WordPress and bbPress and would like to know if the feature stated below is possible or hopefully created.
Hopefully it’s possible for there an alerts button in the menu bar that shows them recent replies to subscribed topics on a page.
What I need is for every time someone has replied to a topic they are subscribed to, in the menu bar the alerts link will have an icon with how many alerts (unread) eg (2) in an icon. This would require the alerts page too.

I saw this on forums powered by another forum software. (PAID)

I use the latest bbPress and WordPress.

Thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
ayden1232

My goal is to share one DB between wp and bbpress, one registration, seamless for users. The process of accomplishing this seems to have changed.

There’s all sorts of documentation on this topic and I’ve spent the last five hours trying to find my answer before bothering the good people of the internet, so I would greatly appreciate a hand now. It would appear that in recent changes, bb-config.php no longer exists? Installation process where you can fill out DB details in an easy form process seems to be gone?

Integrating with WordPress

So the settings must be in a config file somewhere! This infamous “WordPress Integration” section must be somewhere!

I’m using WordPress 3.5.1 and BBpress 2.2.4

Thanks.

I have created a ticket in trac for this https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2249

[Sam Rohn]

you need to use something like GD bbPress Tools to enable shortcodes for bbpress

@rewindcaz I actually disabled all of the default avatar systems that WordPress provides and created my own with a few small functions. I needed a custom made plugin because each avatar on the site is unlocked when you receive a new card to your collection.  Users can also customize their chosen avatar with nine alternative colours, which helps provide individuality.

As I’ve received a ton of feedback from the Rats Clan bbPress forum I’m going to start blogging about my code – I’ll make sure this is one of my posts! 🙂

[Jim S.]

I’m having a similar problem. WP 3.5.1, bbPress 2.2.4, and all bbPress posts are being pushed to my site’s primary RSS feed for some reason. I’ve disabled all plugins, but the problem continues. Any thoughts or ideas as to what may be causing this?

[fontadoni]

Hello,

I need help with creating a log in box. I know the shortcode to use in the sidebar or in a wordpress page is [bbp-login], but I would like to create a log-in-box right on the main page of the forums as seen at studiopress.com/forums. I know that for this I need to add the code to the php template, though I do not know the code. Can you guys help me with the php code? Thanks in advance.

I’m using bbpress 2.2.4

Can’t seem to spot a trend. I’m also noticing a lot of oddities. The “Group Forum” index from BuddyPress shows there are forums, within groups, that have posts. When I click to view any of the threads that show up on the Group Forum index, it says there are no posts.

Something must be misconfigured, as I can’t imagine WordPress & BuddyPress & bbPress should be this complicated. I’ll go back to the drawing boards and re-read some of the documentation.

Thanks for helping me get the majority of the user-issue figured out.

[Stephen Edgar]

I can’t think of any off the top of my head…

Try searching for a plugin though…

https://bbpress.org/plugins/ or https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/

[Stephen Edgar]

If it happens again…

It could be an issue with your rewrite rules. To fix this try resetting your permalinks. In your WordPress Administration Screens navigate to Settings > Permalinks, select a different permalink structure and save. Then select your preferred permalink structure and save again.
